Application filed October 29, 1896, Serial No. 610,397. (No model.) y

To CLZZ whom, it pray concern: l

Be it known that l, CAPTAIN Il. Banken, a citizen of the United States,residing at Tallville, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements inlVindmills; and I do herebydeclare the following to lbe a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to certa-in new and usefulimprovements inwindmills; and it has for its objects, among others, to provide a simpleand cheap construction whereby the mill is rendered automatic in itsregulation or governing of the speed, and also automaticallystopped whenthe tank is full or the water therein has reached a predeterminedheight, thereby rendering the necessity of running after the tank isfull useless and unnecessary. I also provide means whereby the mill willbe automatically stopped during a storm, thus preventing injury to themill by the jerking of the parts.

The device is composed of few parts, those readily assembled, not liableto get out of order, and most efficient in its operation.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear,and the novel features thereof will be specifically defined by theappended claims.

The invention in this instance resides in the peculiar combinations andthe construction, arrangement, and adaptation of parts, all as morefully hereinafter described, shown in the drawings, and thenparticularly pointed out in the claims.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings,which, with the let-` ters of reference marked thereon, form a part ofthis specification, and in which- Figure l is a perspective view of myimprovement. Fig. 2 is a detail showing the connection between the tworudders. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the blades detached.Fig. e is a vertical section through the line of the pump-rod. Fig. 5 isa substantially central vertical section with a portion broken away.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts throughout the severalviews.

Referring nowto the details ofthe drawings struction. form B, whilebelow the same is the plate or by letter, A designates thetower, whichmay be of any suitable or wellknown form of con- At its upper `endthereis the plathorizontal timber @through which there is an opening D, andsurrounding this opening.

is a socket E, in which the lower end of the shaft or column F ismounted to revolve freely. This column is preferably formed of the twopieces, as shown, held at the desired distance by the blocks arrangedbetween them, and at the upper end thereof are the boxes or bearings a,in which is mounted the crank-shaft G, which forms a continuation of theshaft upon which the wind-wheel is secured. Y The outer end of thisshaft is mounted in abearing at the upper end of the arm G', supportedfrom the column, as shown. This wheel is preferably formed of the rim b,the hub c, and the spokes d of wire extending from the hub to the rim inother than parallel planes, and to these spokes are secured the wings orblades c, arranged as shown, leaving a space about the axis, as shown.

II is the pump-rod connected with the crankshaft in any suitable mannerand working between the two parts of the column, as shown, and through ahole z' in the inner end of the arm I of the small rudder or vane. Thisarm is secured between the two parts of the column, and to its outer endis secured the rudder or vanel J, the outer end of which is somewhatbent at an angle to the length thereof, as shown. This arm is preferablyformed of two parallel pieces suitably connected or braced, and betweenthese pieces is pivotally mountedl one end of the arm K, the other endof which is disposed as hereinafter described.

L is the arm of the large vane cr rudder. It is pivotallyvniounted on avertical pivot 7e on the column F, the said arm being composed of thetwo pieces suitably braced or held at the desired distance apart and atthe outer end having pivotally mounted thereon on a vertical pivot fm.the large vane or rudder M. The inner end of this rudder is providedwith a slot n, in which is designed tc work the end of the arm K, whichis mounted on the vertical pin or pivot N, held in the end ofthe vane,and this end of this arm has the clamp O, in which is held the groovedpulley IOO pulley Q on the vertical axisy Q !held ybetween,

the two pieces of the armo the small rudder,

the saidarm of the smallrudder and through end is attached a weight S.

Withthe parts constructed and 'arrangeds substantially as aboverdescribed ythe operar` tion yis as follows: Underordinary circum stancesthe mill Works in the usual manner,

and also stops the milliny ,averyhard' Windorsstorm. When the Windbecomes strong enough to turn the column, the armcarrying the klargerudder swings toward thesmalllrud dery and assumes Such an. anglewithrelation" carryinga; Weight, asvandfor` the purposes e specified'. f
